I'VE SEEN QUITE A FEW THAT HAD CRANKSHAFT SENSOR ISSUES THAT EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS YOU DESCRIBE.....I'M OFFERING OPINION---NOT ADVICE!
IN FACT, A REAL GOOD BUDDY OF MINE PUT UP WITH THE "I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG" ROUTINE SO LONG......HE KNEW ALMOST EXACTLY HOW FAR OR HOW LONG HE COULD DRIVE, BEFORE IT DIED.........HE BASED HIS TRIPS ON HIS SELF ACQUIRED DATA SO HE COULD STILL DO HIS DAILY ROUTINES
THIS ONE HERE, IS FOR THE 4.7 (YOU DID NOT MENTION YOUR ENGINE SIZE)

IF THIS IS YOUR PART---IT'S EQUAL TO 8 ? GALLONS OF GAS....THE TRIP BACK AND FORTH TO YOUR MECHANIC!THIS THING AIN'T HARD TO INSTALL.....THE HIGH SCHOOL NEIGHBOR KID IN AUTO MECHANICS SHOP COULD DO IT!.....OR EVEN THIS:
I'M JUST CONVEYING WHAT I HAVE SEEN----WITHOUT SUPER HI-$$$$ TESTING (I DO BELIEVE IN DIAGNOSING--SOMETIMES IT DOES SAVE ON "INDISCRIMINATE PARTS THROWING")......TO REPLACE A $30 PART.....TAKING A CHANCE IS UP TO YOU!
GOOD LUCK!
